Newline character omitted while reading from buffer

Question

I've written the following code:

public class WriteToCharBuffer {

 public static void main(String[] args) {
  String text = "This is the data to write in buffer!\nThis is the second line\nThis is the third line";
  OutputStream buffer = writeToCharBuffer(text);
  readFromCharBuffer(buffer);
 }

 public static OutputStream writeToCharBuffer(String dataToWrite){
  ByteArrayOutputStream byteArrayOutputStream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
  BufferedWriter bufferedWriter = new BufferedWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(byteArrayOutputStream));
  try {
   bufferedWriter.write(dataToWrite);
   bufferedWriter.flush();
  } catch (IOException e) {
   e.printStackTrace();
  }
  return byteArrayOutputStream;
 }

 public static void readFromCharBuffer(OutputStream buffer){
  ByteArrayOutputStream byteArrayOutputStream = (ByteArrayOutputStream) buffer;
  BufferedReader bufferedReader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(new ByteArrayInputStream(byteArrayOutputStream.toByteArray())));
  String line = null;
  StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
  try {
   while ((line = bufferedReader.readLine()) != null) {
    //System.out.println(line);
    sb.append(line);
   }
   System.out.println(sb);
  } catch (IOException e) {
   e.printStackTrace();
  }

 }
}

When I execute the above code, following is the output:

This is the data to write in buffer!This is the second lineThis is the third line

Why are the newline characters (\n) skipped? If I uncomment the System.out.println() as following:

while ((line = bufferedReader.readLine()) != null) {
        System.out.println(line);
        sb.append(line);
       }

I get the correct output as:

This is the data to write in buffer!
This is the second line
This is the third line
This is the data to write in buffer!This is the second lineThis is the third line

What is reason for this?

JavaDoc Says

public String readLine()
                throws IOException

Reads a line of text. A line is considered to be terminated by any one of a line feed ('\n'), a carriage return ('\r'), or a carriage return followed immediately by a linefeed.
Returns:
A String containing the contents of the line, not including any line-termination characters, or null if the end of the stream has been reached
Throws:
